Some questions.

Why the name change?
The Switch version was cancelled? I had a pre-order but it was cancelled about a week ago.
Have there been any content changes?

As far as i know, only the names of the characters were changed because they were the same as a Japanese idol group. Japanese feminists (yes, Japanese) cried about it on Twitter, and the devs changed the names of the characters. However the title of the game being changed is news to me.

So there may be more changes we don't know of.

Who cares about the Nintendo Switch version, it's available on Steam and that's enough. I agree with the developer that the whole problem seen above is part of a smear campaign, there will always be groups or people who discredit others, this is an example, nothing can exist without offending someone, for my part I will to buy

Worth noting there is a patch on the dev's website that I don't think is advertised anywhere else
https://qureate.co.jp/beatrefle/en/patch/
Edit: Their website claims you need the patch to restore all content such as some lewd minigames. So if you want all the content you just need to apply the patch. So anything that was removed can easily be restored

Sweet, thanks for the info! \m/ \m/

I am guessing that is because they never intended nudity, but figured the contents in the patch would be too spicy for Steam.

Just a follow up on this, game is censored even with the patch, they censored even boobs with rays of light. What is odd it's an external patch that won't be coming to console version, but the result is censored anyway, no idea why it even needs a patch when everything is censored.

Might not be censored could just be the Switch edition contents

We reached a point where devs feel the need to make an external patch for an R-16 game because they are scared of getting banned by steam...

Also Duel Princess never ever.
DT2-2 NEVER EVER

I mean, Duel Princess got banned from Steam for showing a bit less than that, couldn't blame them for being cautious this time around.

Japanese games never show nips. That is reserved for visual novels and anime.

Hey guys! I have a question: I downloaded the patch (~1.2 kb) on the official game's website and put it in the game's corresponding directory. When i got to the very first NTR mode, game still had some ray of light censorin. I wonder if I did something wrong or it's just normal to happen as I'm supposed to process further into the game? Thanks a lot guys!

The ray of light should still be present even with the patch. You wouldn't be able to play some of the minigames at all without the patch

We can only guess. But this isn't the first game on Steam to require a name change before Valve would sell it. (Needy Girl Overdose being another recent one I can think of).

I doubt that is the reason. Along with the issues with the idol names, there was issue with the fact people drew connections to massage parlor crimes and this game's premise. I wouldn't be surprised if removing the massage part from the title and requiring a patch for several of the minigames in the Steam version is why the title got changed. I think that is why on the store page they have, "This game is not intended to incite or encourage crime. Do not imitate."
